Für mich der beste Sauvignon Blanc aus Napa. Ausgebaut in einer Mischung aus hauptsächlich gebrauchten französischen Barriques, Stahltank, Amphore, Keramik und Beton. Expressiv und dabei so wunderbar harmonisch ausgeglichen. Grapefruit, Zitrone, gelber Apfel mit erfrischendem Minz-Salbei Kick. Im Mund saftiger Pfirsich und ein Hauch Mango. Erfrischend mit salziger Graphit- Mineralität. A class of its own! Man kann ihn auch ohne Probleme, ebenso wie einen Sancerre von Format, ein paar Jahre in den Keller legen. Top Stoff!

Suckling über: Sauvignon Blanc

Rich in fresh herbs, citrus and crisp melon aromas, with plenty of fruit and freshness. All barrel fermented, using about half steel barrels and half oak barrels. With great acidity and linearity, it tastes tangy but full on the palate. Drink now or hold.,

Wine Spectator über: Sauvignon Blanc

Powerful, with a succulent, fragrant mix of peach, grilled lemon and pineapple flavors that show details of lemon verbena, lemon balm, beeswax, orange blossoms and litsea oil. Seamless and harmonious all the way through the long, impressive finish. Drink now.

Jeb Dunnuck über: Sauvignon Blanc

The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is gorgeous, offering clean citrus and lime-like fruits with a pure, minty, floral style that keeps you coming back to the glass. I love its purity, it's medium-bodied, has integrated acidity, and a great finish.,,

Galloni über: Sauvignon Blanc

The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is gorgeous. Creamy, layered and vibrant, the 2023 is wonderfully vibrant from start to finish. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, mint and tomato leaf all race across the palate. The 2023 was fermented in a combination of French oak, stainless steel drums, cement eggs and amphorae. I especially admire its mid-palate texture and overall balance.,,,

Wine Enthusiast über: Sauvignon Blanc

Aromas of ripe tropical fruit and dried hay burst from the glass. Mouthwatering acidity carries flavors of passion fruit and pleasing pithiness into a long, crisp finish. Delicious.
